Citrus And Ginger Roasted Chicken Recipe 455

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a large resealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving 1/4 cup for Glaze and put the chicken in a 13-by-9-inch pan and bake for 45 minutes. Baste with the Glaze, turn the pieces over and bake for an additional 15 to 25 minutes, basting every 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and arrange the chicken on a serving platter.
• In a small saucepan, over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. When the oil is hot add the shallots and ginger and saute for 3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook for 15 minutes. Baste the chicken with the glaze after 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°. Finely grate the zest of 1 lemon and 1 orange. Quarter the zested lemon and orange. Set the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan. In a small bowl, combine the citrus zests with 1 tablespoon of the ginger. Generously season the cavity of the chicken with salt and pepper and all of the zest mixture. Stuff as many lemon and orange quarters inside the chicken as will fit. Juice the remaining 2 lemons and 1 orange. In a small bowl, mix the citrus juice with the remaining 2 tablespoons of ginger, the olive oil and the honey. Brush the chicken with the juice mixture and roast, basting with the juice every 20 minutes, for 1 1/4 hours, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a thigh registers 165°. If the skin browns too quickly, cover the chicken with foil. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 15 minutes. Pour the pan juices into a glass measuring cup and skim off the fat. Remove the chicken skin and discard, carve the meat and transfer to plates. Serve with the pan juices.

Steps:

• Mix orange juice, lime juice, honey, gingerroot and 1 teaspoon thyme in medium bowl.
• Spray 10-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium-high heat. Sprinkle salt and pepper blend over chicken. Cook chicken in skillet 3 to 4 minutes, turning once, until brown. Stir in orange juice mixture. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut. Remove chicken from skillet.
• Heat sauce in skillet to boiling. Add butter. Cook, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and sauce is slightly thickened. Serve sauce over chicken and orange slices. Sprinkle with additional thyme.

Steps:

• Combine ingredients for marinade. Remove all visible fat from chicken. Place in shallow bowl and pour marinade over. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours. (Can also marinate in a ziplock bag).
• Remove chicken from marinade and reserve marinade. Saute chicken breasts in a nonstick skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray (olive oil one is great). Turn and saute until done. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
• Add reserved marinade to skillet and bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Spoon sauce over chicken and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Whisk first 6 ingredients in small bowl. Rinse chickens inside and out; pat dry. Rub oil mixture in cavities and over outside of chickens. Tie legs together with string to hold shape. Tuck wing tips under. Place chickens on rack set in large roasting pan. Roast chickens until juices run clear when thigh is pierced or until thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh registers 180°F, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Transfer chickens to platter. Pour pan juices into medium bowl; spoon off fat and discard. Drizzle juices over chickens. Surround chickens with Roasted Root Vegetables. Sprinkle vegetables with parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350ºF.
• Cut the lemon into quarters. Rub the outside of the chicken with one of the lemon quarters, then discard. In a small bowl, stir together the lemon and orange zests and 1 tablespoon of the grated ginger. Rub this mixture evenly in the cavity. Put the lemon and orange quarters inside the bird. Place the chicken on a rack in a roasting pan. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper. In the now-empty small bowl, combine the melted margarine or olive oil, lemon and orange juices, honey, and the remaining 2 tablespoons ginger. Mix well.
• Place the chicken in the oven and roast, basting with the citrus juice mixture at least 4 times during cooking, until the juices run clear when the thigh is pierced with a knife, about 1 hour.
• Transfer to a serving platter and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Carve the chicken. Garnish with orange sections.
• Variation: Use 4 tablespoons pomegranate juice in place of the lemon juice.
